NEWS
As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now.

I learned a TON and was totally entertained at the same time. I’m a huge fan of Steve K. and geek out for politics, but had no knowledge whatsoever about the genesis of today’s brand of politics. Thanks for the education! And I’m telling anyone who will listen to check this out!! I’m anxious to see what’s next!! Please do another series!!
Steve is fantastic!
